"Hurry, something's up." Everyone was still resting when the people on guard woke them up. Their first reaction was to grab their self-defense weapons, their faces tense.
"What's going on?" Liu Chunsheng, leaning near the edge of the group, hadn't spotted any outsiders. He was the first to ask.
Gu Mingxia had a mysterious look on his face. "A miracle has appeared."
At those few short words, everyone shot up into a sitting position, their eyes uniformly fixed on Gu Mingxia. At this moment, everyone's eyes shone with light, showing they once again had hope for survival.
"Where?" Gu Daping asked, his face full of excitement. He began scrambling for his bamboo tubes, wondering how much water they would get this time.
Gu Mingxia pointed to the group ahead. "It's all over by the village chief and the others. Based on the number of people, our side has been allotted two large buckets. Third Uncle said we should go over in batches so we don't arouse anyone's suspicion."
